Strewn
over a bestilled battlefield hundreds
Of
vanquished angels weightless flaking away
So
many thin sighs on the dry wind strange
Decay
of empty sound where carrion flowers
Unfurl
unseemly colors in this desiccated rot
Being
so serenely dead and dying is not
Paradise
loosed from the light of extinguished
Stars
O god who summoned me from the sea
Who
called me from reflected water
To
decipher these dismembered voices what
Do
I care for untranslatable aromas martyred
Fragrances for these inauthentic gestures
The
only thing to do is play an Argentine tango
Open
sunshut eyes dance with naked doubt
